Up early and we set off for the turntable to meet
Chris. We went to Nemasu first and
introduced Faith and Mike to Mr Sallah.
The school was reasonably full considering that they had just had two
days off, and all classes were working well when we arrived. The sound of the jolly phonics sounds and
singing were drifting across the playground whilst we were in Mr Sallah’s
office. More training is required on jolly
phonics and Mr Sallah is going to organise it for next week. Monthly tests were taking place in Abdou’s
class and the children were copying questions from the blackboard ready to
answer them in their own exercise books.
It was nice to see Fatou using some of the training she had learnt in
the summer. Chris was inspecting the
garden and the new vegetables which had been planted already. We looked around, got a list of essentials
and then moved on to Naata. Abi has
returned after her maternity leave and was happy to see us all. Again no all
the children have returned yet after the break.
Abi has taken over class one and has just under 50 little ones to look
after when they are all there. The roll
is now 164 in total. Abdoulie and
Momodou greeted everyone and then we left.
Mr Jallow was desperate for school fees for his son, so he followed us
back to the bank to collect them. We
continued on then up to Mansea Beach
to see Rod, and we all went for lunch in Hanks bar opposite the hotel. We spent a pleasant afternoon and then
returned home for the evening.
